A Foolish Sutton.
From Washington Letter to the BGItimol
american. IL

From Washington Letter to the Baltimore
american.
That "the best laid plans of mice and men
gang aft aglee0 has almost a daily illustration
The particular instance referred to is the case of
young Washington blood, who, for a number
of years, has laid siege to the heart of young
lady whose father is one of the wealthiest men
in town. The old gentleman looked approvingly
on the satisfactory progress that the young man
was making, but thought it would be well to see
whether it was the daughter or the money that
he wooed so ardently. So one bright day he
called the would-be son-in-law to him, and
told him blandly that he was not averse to
the marriage, but that when it was con-
summated he must take care of her himself
and not expect her to take care of him,
or, in other words, that he could not support
them This was done solely as a blind, for the
pater familias doubted not that the boy was
sincere in his affections. And so they parted,
the fond lover avowing his unutterable attach
ment, and his entire willingness to shoulder the
responsibilities of his prospective new life But
the old gentleman experiment worked like a
charm. The young man has never showed up
from that day to this, and now 'al bets are off y
as it were. The young lady and her father are
congratulating themselves at the narrow
escape the bank account has made, and the
BOBBY is looking around for hole to crawl in.
Meantime, another fellow, with good hard horse
sense, came along and married the girl, and the
generous fatherin-law gave them goodly pile

Philndelnhia,s Example.

While other cities suffered great loss on
account of labor troubles last year, Phila-
delphia was almost entirely free from such
| disturbances.
Among the causes assigned for the alb
sence of disastrous differences between CAPT
tai and labor in that city are two which de
serve consideration. The Philadelphia
branch of the Peace Society interferes
when there is a prospect of strike and
generally induces the disagreeing parties
! to submit their differences to a board
of arbitration. The boards decisions are
SO fair that appeals from them are rarely
taken. In this way Interruptions to bust
ness are prevented, and neither capitalists
nor laborers lose money. THE other cause is
the practical application of the principle
of profit sharing. 1t is alleged that Phila-
delphia capitalists, in no inconsiderable
number, believed that the offer of a share
of their profits to employees would excite in
the latter an interest in the success of the
business they We're engaged in. Trial proved
the belief well founded Notwithstanding has
been introduced into quite a number of
manufacturing and commercial establish
the part of employees and almost entirely
removing the risks of labor collisions.
The wisdom displayed by the capitalists
and laborers of Philadelphia has not only
prevented loss by reason of labor troubles
but it has given the city remarkable pros
perity) Industrial establishments have
increased rapidly in number and
are operated to their full
capacity A feature of the increase is the
large number of small manufactures. These
for the most part are owned by small CAPT
talists and former laborers who have set up
for themselves. Another evidence of Phila-
delphia's prosperity is the fact that more
than 10000 houses are under contract for
erection during the present year.
Other cities would do well to initiate Phil
adelphia's example Labor troubles and pros
perity do not go hand in hand.

Abbey's Dance.
From the Baltimore .4merica5

From the Baltimore american.
Everybody knows of Edwin A. Abbey, the
clever artist whose drawings for HGrper'S of
She Stoops to Conquer +" Sally in Our Alley,
and this month of kitty of Coleraine," are so
much admired. His friends say that it is one of
Mr.. Abbey's little eccentricities that whenever
some piece of good work just finished paI'tic-
ularly pleases him, he gives vent to feelings
in some utterly unconventional way. Not long
ago lady called on him just while he was fin
ishing the best of the Kitty of Coleraine pic
tures-"The Devil Pitcher was Whole in Cole
raine.n He was just in the working mood, SO
he begged her to sit down for a few minutes
until he had finished
She sat down, and presently Abbey forgot all
about her. He worked and worked, and finally
he completed the picture He stepped back,
took good look, then gave long-drawn
whistle of satisfaction. The next moment the
whistle brighted up into rafting melody, and
Abbey did a first-class jig that would have
done honor to professional. The lady, sur
prised, but not to be outdone commenced to
pat" but that recalled the artist to himself.
He turned and saw the lady, flushed slightly,
and apologzed. But the apology wasn't neces-
sary for it isn't every one who has the honor of
seeing one of Americas leading artists doing a
little pas seul'

Gen. Thomas l.. Rosser, of Virginia, has
written letter to Maj. Holmes Conrad, of
Winchester, regarding Gen. Phil Sheridans
contemplated visit to the Shenandoah val
ley. Among other things, he says: "Gen
Sheridan has done nothing since the war to
atone for his cruel barbarism during the
war. We have not forgotten that during
his reign in New Orleans he asked that our
fellow citizens of Louisiana might be pro
claimed banditti in order that he might set
the dogs of war on them. l have forgiven
the brave men of the Union armies whom !
met in honorable battle, and who
finally triumphed over us in the
great struggle. Among them I can
now name many of my warmeSt
and truest and most prized friends. They
are good and true TO me and think none the
less Of us for having fought them. Indeed
they esteem him highest among us who
fought them the hardest Sheridan is not
one Of this kind, and he has never accorded
to us that peace which Grant proclaimed.
now say to you, my dear Major, and to our
gallant comrades who are now in the val
ley, that hope you viii allow this man TO
make his triumphant ride UP the valley in
peace, but have him go like the miserable
crow, carrying his rations with him" Now,
then, listen for the shrek of ''another South

In a Nameless Grave,

The body of the girl who was murdered
at Railway, N. j., several weeks ago, and
concerning whose identity the whole coun-
try has been more or less interested, was
buried Tuesday in the Presbyterian ceme-
terry at Railway. Hundreds of people were
present at the funeral services, and several
rather curious incidents occurred. The
Rev. Mr. Gray conducted the services, and,
among other things, he said 'For weeks
this mutilated body has been the focus of
many eyes and the subject of patient and
protracted investigation. But the shrouded
form is nameless, the assassin still skulks in
the gloom, while those who loved the living
are not here to pay their last tribute to the
dead"
The efforts made to discover the identity of
the murdered girl were extraordinary. All
of the great New York newspapers had re-
porters at work upon the case, and many
and various were the stories they furnished.
The World.published statement week or
more ago to the effect that the girl was Ana
Christine Larsen, and there seemed TO be no
reason to longer doubt that the mystery had
been solved Further investigation, how
ever, showed that the World was mistaken,
and the day after the funeral that journal
admitted that Ana Christine Larsen was
alive and in New York. The Herald also
claimed the credit of identifying the girl,
but its story was not satisfactory. At
the funeral one woman appeared in mourn
ing, claiming that the dead girl was
her sister, Mary DOMAIN, and another went
into Mysteries. The latter insisted that the
body was that of dearly loved friend
named Maggie. No attention was paid to
these claims, as 1t was believed that they
were made for no other purpose than to OBJ
tain the reward of $500 offered for satisfac-
tory Identification.
The girl sleeps in a nameless grave, and
the mystery which shrouds everything con-
| nected with her life and death must be left
TO time to clear up.

The Florida Contest.

There is a slight prospect that the Florida
Senatorial contest will be settled in day or
two. The hope is expressed that the Demo-
cratic caucus will select a candidate to-
night. 1t is certain that both the Legisla-
ture and the people are tired of the contest,
and would gladly see the end of it. The
other business of the Legislature is retarded
by it, and it begins to look as if the end of
the session would be reached before legisla-
ton that is both important and necessary is
accomplished.
1t is doubtful if any of the letters which
have been published to injure Bloxham have
cost him vote. His answers to those
which concerned him have been prompt
and satisfactory. The efforts to injure
Perrysby charging him with using the pa
tronage of his Office to advance luis canvass
have been without effect The fact is that
both men are so well and favorabiy known
that if either wins it must be on his merits
If the caucus does not make choice to-
| night it would not be at all surprising if
both Bloxham and Perry should be dropped
The party cannot afford to waste so much
time in a deadlock that shows so few signs
of breaking. There are good Democrats
besides Perry and Bloxham in Florida, and
| if the caucus cannot make choice tonight
it would act wisely by seeldng alcsudidate
| from among them.

agree to work for specified period at wages
less than half the ruling rates, and to for
felt everything due them if they fail to
